Enabling Virtualized Grids With Oracle and NetApp

Overview Oracle Grid architectures are absorbing new technologies and are continuing to evolve. The recent introduction of Oracle VM for advanced server virtualization, in combination with storage virtualization features of NetApp such as FlexVol, FlexClone, and FAS deduplication, make it possible to significantly increase server and storage utilization on Oracle Grids for improved efficiency and reduced operating costs. This white paper provides an overview of these technologies and highlights a case study of their adoption.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Grid's a 'no-brainer'

We initially envisaged grids becoming mainstream between 2008 and 2012; we already have 20 per cent of respondents piloting or utilising grids in one form or another, and this indicates that real mainstream grid usage will be around 2007 to 2010.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
